Twee schapen 1834 - 1911

"Twee schapen" (Two Sheep) is a watercolor painting created by Dutch artist Jozef Israëls between 1834 and 1911. The piece depicts two sheep in a grassy field, one standing and the other lying down. The painting showcases Israëls’ mastery of watercolor, using delicate washes of color to capture the softness of the sheep’s wool and the lushness of the grass. The overall impression of the work is one of peace and tranquility, reflecting the natural beauty of the Dutch countryside, a common subject for Israëls.
